Thanks for Small Homely Things

Thank you, Lord, for the beauty of small, homely things:

Sunlight through a jar of beach-plum jelly...
A rainbow in soapsuds in dishwater...
An eggyolk in a blue bowl...
White ruffled curtains sifting moonlight...
The color of cranberry glass...
A little cottage with blue shutters...
Crimson roses in an old stone crock...
The smell of newly baked bread...
Candlelight on old brass...
The soft brown of a cocker's eyes,

in Jesus' name, amen.

(based on lines from Peter Marshall)
